Grand Mothers: Poems, Reminiscences, and Short Stories About the Keepers of Our Traditions by Nikki Giovanni

OVERVIEW The acclaimed poet Nikki Giovanni created this book by asking her friends--writers like Gloria Naylor, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Maxine Hong Kingston--for their stories and recollections of their grandmothers, then to a group of writers in their nineties for their thoughts. Grand Mothers celebrates those special women in every culture who preserve heritage and prepare the future.
